Summer Program 7.30(Thur.) @Ogouchi Dam, West side of Tokyo

Hi. I am Genki. In
order to see what the water operation in Tokyo is like, participants went to
Ogouchi dam, which is located in Okutama area, west side of Tokyo. I woke up 4:30 this morning in order to take the participants to the destination...

They were
given the explanation about the dam and water operation in Tokyo area.

After
that, they got into inside of the dam. This dam is 149 meters high and one of
the dam operators taught us that the temperature of the bottom of the dam is 10
degrees Celsius throughout the year. It was like a natural air conditioner.

After
that, participants had a barbecue looking down Tamagawa River. The landscape
was fantastic and they were having so fun taking pictures and walking along the
river.
